The <a href="http://www.sculpture.org.nz/engine/SID/10007.htm" rel="nofollow">Wellington Sculpture Trust</a> have to be thanked for the most amazing installations around the city and its boundaries. I think the city itself does look modern - but some of the houses out in the suburbs can look a little precarious - especially the ones beaten by the sea perched on the sides of cliffs! It's funny to hear people's imagined perceptions of NZ that haven't visited.Sarah (Chez Lee)http://www.chezlee.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-61599219353910588352010-08-07T19:54:25.414+12:002010-08-07T19:54:25.414+12:00I had to laugh when I read the comments about NZ b...I had to laugh when I read the comments about NZ buildings. An American once talked to me about NZ "houses on stilts". Turns out, I'd mentioned pole homes, a common building technique to build houses on steep hillsides and somehow that became "stilts". Other times I've referred folks back home to NZ real estate sites. "Your houses are so modern!" one exclaimed, apparently surprised.<br /><br />We've lived in small town New Zealand, and while we found rural life had some nice things, it was also often frustrating (for example, all shops closed by 5pm and didn't open on Sundays or past midday Saturday). We really like living in Auckland, which to me IS a small city (I came from Chicago). But who knows where we'll end up in the future!Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-87802348401411355192010-08-07T05:24:44.952+12:002010-08-07T05:24:44.952+12:00I love Wellington.

On the other hand, I miss the city of Chicago so much my heart hurts sometimes.<br /><br />You appear to have the best of both worlds.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-86329158017576163162010-08-07T03:54:25.062+12:002010-08-07T03:54:25.062+12:00So do you live in country area and go to the city ...So do you live in country area and go to the city when you need to ?CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-62824625786584670172010-08-07T02:37:55.584+12:002010-08-07T02:37:55.584+12:00I especially like the building that looks like a s...I especially like the building that looks like a ship.
